On the 9th of November, David and Katherine were delighted to represent Latimers at the D&G Life Awards. Well, what a night that was!

It came as a complete surprise to us all that we won a D&G Life Award under the ‘Best Independent Retailer’ category this year, despite being up against Cloud 9 Gallery from Dumfries, and In House Chocolates from Castle Douglas.

All of us at Latimers are absolutely blown away by the support of our wonderful customers and community. It truly wouldn’t be possible without our exceptional team and the people we serve.

It has been said that being an independent retailer these days deserves an award in its own right, but we are thrilled to have been operating since 1882. Five generations later, we hope we are still the friendly, local shop we started out as.
